Answer: Safe to drive after local anesthesia? Thank you for your question. I would direct this question to your surgeon for a definitive answer, as he/she will have a protocol to follow after your procedure. In general, however, it is usually safe to drive if you have had local anesthesia, only. It is not safe, however, if you have any oral or IV anesthesia. Again, I would talk with your surgeon about this specifically. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
